Who wrote the New Testament?

Answer 1

Christian scholars admit that they do not know. They admit that, if the four gospels were written by Matthew, Mark, Luke and John, they must have been written in Hebrew. And yet a Hebrew manuscript of any one of these gospels has never been found. All have been and are in Greek. So, educated theologians admit that the Epistles, James and Jude, were written by persons who had never seen one of the four gospels. In these Epistles -- in James and Jude -- no reference is made to any of the gospels, nor to any miracle recorded in them.
The first mention that has been found of one of our gospels was made about one hundred and eight years after the birth of Christ, and the four gospels were first named and quoted from at the beginning of the third century, about one hundred an seventy years after the death of Christ.
We now know that there were many other gospels besides our four, some of which have been lost. There were the gospels of Paul, of the Egyptians, of the Hebrews, of Perfection, of Judas, of Thaddeus, of the Infancy, of Thomas, of Mary, of Andrew, of Nicodemus, of Marcion and several others.
So there were the Acts of Pilate, of Andrew, of Mary, of Paul and Thecla and of many others; also a book called the Shepherd of Hermas. At first not one of all the books was considered as inspired. The Old Testament was regarded as divine; but the books that now constitute the New Testament were regarded as human productions. We now know that we do not know who wrote the four gospels.
The question is, Were the authors of these four gospels inspired?

Answer 2

The New Testament, like the Old Testament was written by many different people. The various Books of the Bible are attributed to many sources. For instance, Psalms, an Old Testament Book, is atributed to David. The New Testament Books are said to come from Mathew, Mark, Luke and John, all Apostles of Jesus. The actual writing of each book may have been more a matter of compiling from many souces. The English versions of the Bible are translations and edited by the translators.
The Christian position is that the New Testament was written through the inspiration of God.

Answer 3

The New Testament (see also, Biblical canon) are twenty-seven separate works: they consist of the four narratives of Jesus Christ's ministry, called "Gospels"; a narrative of the Apostles' ministries, which is also a sequel to the third Gospel; twenty-one early letters, commonly called "epistles" in Biblical context, which were written by various authors and consisted mostly of Christian counsel and instruction; and an Apocalyptic prophecy, which is also technically the twenty-second epistle.

The common languages spoken by both Jews and Gentiles in the holy land at the time of Jesus were Aramaic, Koine Greek, and to a limited extent a colloquial dialect of Mishnaic Hebrew. However, the original text of the New Testament was most likely written in Koine Greek, the vernacular dialect in 1st-century Roman provinces of the Eastern Mediterranean, and has since been widely translated into other languages, most notably, Latin, Syriac, and Coptic. However, some of the Church Fathers seem to imply that Matthew was originally written in Hebrew or Aramaic, and there is another contention that the author of the Epistle to the Hebrews wrote in Hebrew, which was translated into Greek by Luke. Neither view holds much support among contemporary scholars, who argue that the literary facets of Matthew and Hebrews suggest that they were composed directly in Greek, rather than being translated.
A very small minority of scholars consider the Aramaic version of the New Testament to be the original and believe the Greek is a translation.

Answer 4

The NT has 27 books and were written by 8 different men. Although being written by man, the bible states at 2 Peter 1: 20, 21 that "...prophecy was at NO time brought by man's will, but men spoke from God as they were borne along by holy spirit."

There were 8 different writers of the NT.

Matthew, Mark, Luke, Apostle John, Paul, James (Jesus's brother), Peter and Jude (Jesus's brother).

Addition: Matthew, Mark, James, Peter (2 books) and Jude wrote their own book (named after them). Luke wrote 2 books (Luke and Acts). Apostle John wrote 5 books (John, 1, 2, 3 John and Revelation), and Paul wrote 14 books (from Romans to Hebrews).

Answer 5

Matthew, Peter, Paul, and John were all Apostles--eye-witnesses to the resurrected Christ. Mark was converted under Peter's preaching; and Luke under Paul's. Hope that helps some.

Answer 6

Often referred to as the Scriptures - thats because it is just
a collection of writtings by unknown people and little that any
have said can be verified, but a handfull of folks took it upon
theirselves to decide if it should be in their book (Bible) or not
there is so many of them that it would be impossible to make
a readable collection of them. Dont be fooled into thinking that
they have anything to do with verified truth. I was recently
approached by a Bible thumper and she told me that God wrote
it.

Answer 7

A lot of people... Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, Paul, Titus, James, Jude, and Peter

Answer 8

God wrote it though a number of His chosen people. Mostly disciples/apostles of Jesus. If you have a high quality bible, each book of the bible will have a couple pages explaining who wrote the book and what it is all about. Look into it. Happy reading!

Answer 9

The 7 Dwarfs.

Answer 10

Paul, Luke, Peter (himself and through John Mark), John the Apostle, Matthew, James, Jude, and possibly some others.
